We decided to do a series of some of the Bridges of Atchison County. No, we don't have covered bridges, but we do have some pretty neat old bridges, and some new ones. We hope you enjoy visiting some of them. While placing these caches, we came upon deer, buffalo, coyote, rabbits, and one ole hoot owl, that was telling me all about the area or told me to get out, I don't know which.
You know the drill: Not all of the roads in Atchison County are paved or gravel. Some of the roads are dirt roads,use caution, if the dirt roads are wet - DO NOT ATTEMPT!
Not a tiny one but not a small
Shortly after Atchison county was organized, the city of Atchison laid out, agitation was started for railroad connections with the East. One of the first ordinances passed by the city council in 1858, provided for an election to submit a proposition to take $100,000.00 of stock in railroad. At that time the only means of communication to the outside world Atchison had, was by steamboats to St. Louis.
